Is Windows 7 going to be compatible with EVERYTHING Vista is? -

Will windows 7 be compatible with everything windows vista has? mainly all the programs, and anti-virus/anti spy ware/ all the other programs? i know when windows Vista came out, quite a bit of programs didn t work for it, is 7 going to be the same way? (PS anyone have the BETA? is it good?) 10pts for best answer =)

The beta looks more promising than Vista s did. It s not ready for general use yet, but that is to be expected from any beta software. Most programs will already run on it, and all the major anti-virus programs should be working by or soon after release, but keep in mind that security is usually very weak until SP1 at least. The biggest issue would be drivers. The drivers for Vista were terrible when it was first release, and are just now starting to mature. It probably won t take as long for Windows 7 drivers, but I d suggest waiting for reviews to come out after its release to make sure.

Windows 7 will not be compatible with everything that runs on Vista, but the switch will be much easier than XP to Vista was.
